this manner? The world will continue to function; it is not going to wait for anyone, is it? If a groom's wedding party is ready to leave and you become upset and non-compliant, are they likely to wait for you a couple of days? No, they will not. That is how the world is.
Questioner: At weddings one of the paternal uncles who became upset and noncommunicative risavoo, will send a message that, he will only come if someone comes to appease him.
Dadashri: Yes, he will come around at the time of the departure of the train. He has already experienced that the train will leave without him. The world is going on. Why are you being involved in this act of obstinacy?
If I am being upset and non-compliant risavoo with train guard or the engine driver, they will ask me, 'Why are you being confrontational? Please get on the train.' And if I remain stubborn and say, 'I am not going to get on the train,' will they not just take off? Would the world wait for you? The world will go on. You have to adjust to it, otherwise you will be stranded at the station. I have seen cases where the guard blows the whistle and the train leaves without the one who was being difficult!
Questioner: Then he comes to his senses that the train has left and I have been the loser.
Dadashri: What he believes is 'What I did is right.' If however, he realizes that he made a mistake in upset and noncompliant risavoo, then he will not make that mistake again. However, one does not have that much understanding samjan. Man does have the understanding to see his own loss in this. Man does not have that much ability. It requires a lot of energy shakti to do that. Will a person not question his actions and second-guess himself when he misses his scheduled appearance in court that day? Will he not regret his actions in his mind? When you get into a confrontation, even if you are right and others are wrong, should you not settle the matter before the train leaves (before it is too late)? Are you not the greatest fool if you hang on to your side of the story even when they tell you, 'Sir, please let go of it now, the other person made a mistake"? Then the guard blows his whistle and the train leaves. This is how the world functions and the fools are left behind sitting on a bench!
